| School Uniform Blouses for Twin Granddaughters OK...so your wondering, what does this title mean? Let me explain: The girls have went to this Christian school all this school year. My son is a preacher , and they just moved to this new church, and thus found this school for the kids. They had to wear uniforms.. Which really gets old. Polo tops is it!!! The rules are --all blouses /dresses must have sleeves/collars and have nothing on them. However, we just found out, they can have the school name embroidered on them. .YEA!! SO Maw comes to the rescue... I made them these cute little cotton blouses [in their school colors]. The name of the school is Grace Christian School. Well, I didn't check with them first, before embroidering ?? Mistake... I embroidered the initials -G C A Well, I thought it was Grace Christian Acadamy , but no, it's Grace Christian School.. And no, they would not let them wear them ???????? there is no picking out this mistake. So we have 2 blouses that can't be worn to school!!!! Always check twice before embroidering on a garment.lol |

Oh silly grandma, with a good heart...good thing you can laugh a bit! Maybe you can find a girl named 'Gertrude Cornelia Adams' who would be just tickled to get a couple of sweet blue blouses? D.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha Deedy...
ReplyDeleteNow... I just know there is a sweet little girl with the name, " Gertrude Cornelia Adams"... Bless her heart!!! lol
Oh dear, Judy, how tedious for you after all that work. Glad you have a sense of humour, I think I would as well, but only after having been crossy and grumpy for a few hours, lol's
ReplyDeleteHa Sarah... Honestly... I was a little cranky at first..My thought was, "what difference does school or academy make? why can't they wear them any way?"
DeleteBut, then I calmed down and thought? well.. you know if you let them go against the codes, then the other kids will want to have their initials, or something else.?? so..
I just laughed at it, and who knows.. this summer I might decide to make an embroidered pocket to cover the letters??
But Sarah, you know what is a good thing? I used my stash..yea.
That is too bad. The shirts are pretty, and it is a shame they will not be able to wear them.
ReplyDeleteGertrude Cornelia Adams - Bless her heart indeed! :)
Yep... If I find my Gertrude girl--- all will be well.. I love Deedy , she is always so fun.. such a sweet friend..
DeleteOh bless your heart. The blouses are so cute!! I love Deedy's idea. Hope you are having a great weekend!!
ReplyDeletea little bird
Thank you ... Don't you just love Deedy? She made me laugh over this silly mistake.. She had to really think hard to think up this "sweet " name.ha
DeleteOh no you poor thing hehe. I wonder if you can embroider over them with a cute flower or something and then they can wear them on the weekend. Maybe some lace or something hehe. Your such a sweety though :)
ReplyDeleteErin, thank you ..
DeleteI am thinking about a little tiny pocket on the yoke.. [embroider the pocket first]. and cover up the boo boo?? what do you think?
Oops! I wondered if you could make the 'curly' bits of the letters into tendrils and embroider some flowers over the top somehow ... just a thought ...
ReplyDeleteDiane.. on my embroidery machine, it won't hardly sew embroidery on top of embroidery, the thread is too thick , and it breaks.. but a good idea. thanks.
DeleteI am thinking about ,making a little pocket for the
yoke[embroider the pocket first?] What do you think/
What a great idea! Or you could even do a patch of something or other ...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.. They are out of school right now.. So, its in my pile of "to do stuff".ha.. When they start back to school, I will do this.
DeleteOh dear it sounds like something I'd do. The pocket idea sounds like it might work...
ReplyDeleteI bet , the next ones I make, I will NOT forget it is school not academy..lol This is what you call , 'A BOUGHT LESSON".
DeleteBoy I feel your pain here, I may just cry!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Cathe, It's ok... I think when it gets time for school to start back, I can embroider on a pocket , put on top of this and cover it up.. Right now , its in the "to do pile"
